Leave me here to die

33 sucks.

Out of all of the numbers out there, it's probably the worst number by far. I mean, what's even the point of it? 32 is better. 31 is better. 33 is absolutely pointless in its existence. And it's an odd number. Odd. Odd numbers suck, but 33 is the suckiest odd number out of all of them.

There's nothing even ironic about it. I can find irony in every other number. But not this one. It's like anti-irony in its most natural form.

We're wizards, we should be able to magically take this number out of existence.

Someone invent a spell for that.

[okay no. he has to stop. He stops, and he thinks, and he thinks...

and he feels like a complete asshole, for everything. Especially what with the other conversation going on with his own father right now, he just... he feels awful.

He feels awful and he doesn't want to admit it.]

[Eridan's last sentence is enough to make him stop. He hadn't been expecting Eridan to say anything like that, and it honestly surprises him to see it. Not only because it's Eridan saying it, but the words themselves. That... that he would think that. Bro has been trying to avoid the L word.

Trying is the operative word.

Because somehow things just keep going back to it. Like when he slipped up and nearly wrote it in Murdoc's journal entry that one time. And now here, with Eridan. If there's anything that his more recent talk with Murdoc proved, it's that his feelings definitely do run deep. Deeper than he has the courage to admit. But... the more he's faced with this scenario, the easier it's beginning to be to face it.

It's terrifying, but even so he still doesn't have it in him to walk away. In fact, as weird as it is, the more he's faced with it the less he can ever imagine walking away.]

I think you're right. I mean...

I don't think it's there yet.

But I think it's close. At least for me.



Is that ok?

I'm not saying I'll walk away if it isn't. Because I fucking can't.

But I don't want you to always resent me for it.

[Bro, be happy. He never admits these things to people out loud, especially to those who aren't like... his really good friends.]

[It's. not the ideal answer, admittedly. But he realizes that it's about as good as he's going to get, because this is already a lot to ask of him anyway. It's a lot to handle. He knows that, which is why he isn't going to push the issue. As long as Eridan doesn't outright hate him, he has room to work things out with time.]

I understand. If it helps, I really am sorry for making everything difficult.

But there are no expectations from you. At least not from me. I'll just be happy if we could get along one day is all. That's about it, and that's not even an expectation, it's a hope.
